Yamaha CDR-HD1300 - Any good with a DAC?


I'm thinking of purchasing a Yamaha CDR-HD1300 CD-R/HDD Recorder to use as a juke box in my system but I want to use it with my DAC.

Does any one have experience of using one of these with an external DAC?

Thanks for replies, guys.
The new HD1500 sounds good.
I'm assuming that noise from the fan is unobtrusive?
I'm gonna check it out anyway.
Guys....

Being the proud owners of the HD1300/1500's I wonder if I could ask you a couple of questions?

I have owned a 1300 for sometime now and am very very happy with the machine.

I have been hunting around trying to find if anyone has had any success in installing a larger HD in a 1300, as I understand that the firmware prevents any drives larger than 135Gig being installed. That is to say a 200Gig drive will still only be recognised as a 135.

As I understand it there IS some firmware available, but Yamaha do not give this out to the general public.

Now I see that a HD1500 has been released, so I'm wondering if an HD drive that has been formatted by the 1500 (say 250Gig) would work to full capacity in a 1300, and not be limited to 135Gig???

Or indeed, where to get the firmware?

Your thoughts??

Regards
